    Are you doing the round 1 race this Sunday? It's at Porridgepot which is only a mile or so from Tunnel hill so should give you an idea. Ridden there twice this week - greasy roots and leaves but no mud to worry you as it drains quickly.

    Using a NN up front and a X-King on the back - has suited me on all but the slippiest ascents
